To celebrate the launch of my new email newsletters I’m giving away a copy of my CD Present Tense to one lucky subscriber. I’ll shortly be re-launching my email newsletters with exclusive content and the first newsletter will also announce the name of the lucky winner of my album Present Tense. To be in with […]

After a bit of thought I’ve decided to make some changes to my email newsletter. Instead of sending out a weekly newsletter that is a summary of what I’ve posted I’ve decided to send out newsletters that will contain exclusive stuff such as background info on my songs, one-off tracks, selected recordings that are not […]

Listen to every song I release completely FREE on my website. Of course I’d love it if you streamed my music from sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Soundcloud etc etc. I’d love it even more if you downloaded my songs. And I’d have a personal party if you bought my CD. But, failing all […]

The first song I released was My Guardian Angel which was a tribute to my late partner Christine who died from blood cancer. I recorded the song and it was played at Christine’s funeral. Some time later I contacted the Blood Cancer UK charity and sought their permission to release My Guardian Angel in Christine’s […]
